Release dateMay 31, 2008SummaryUnreleased circa 1975 screen play by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard about the 'evil galactic overlord' Xenu from "Operating Thetan III" (OT III). Scientology officials still (as of 2008) publicly deny the "alien" basis to Scientology; a brazen lie.There are numerous public references to the script, including from Scientology's aborted attempt to produce the material. Other copies have also previously circulated and reviewed by select anti-cult activists.FACTnet.org, a general cult-awarness and recovery organization has an interview with what it states to be a former Scientology executive on the movie and its connection to "Battlefield Earth", a Scientology film produced by Hollywood actor John Travolta:From New York Post October 11, 1979:"Coast cult chieftan backs big $49 million sci-fi movie venture"Religion isn't the only interest of California cult leader L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the controversial Church of Scientology.Following in the footsteps of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, another cult chief of some renown, Hubbard has decided to go into the motion picture business.A new outfit called Brilliant Films will announce plans to produce an independent production titled "Revolt in the Stars" from a screen- play by Hubbard.The company insists it's not affiliated with the church "as a business," but clearly it has a close relationship.The picture, described as "a science fiction thriller," has a super whopping $49 million budget and will presumably be "overseen" by Hubbard from aboard his 324-ft. diesel ship Apollo (which he's lived on for years).The 69-year old Hubbard is no novice at writing, having penned the perennial best-selling "Bible" of Scientology titled Dianetics.The folks at Brilliant Films say there's no director or casst set as yet, "but we're going after some distinguished performers - really big stars."A natural assumption might be those widely-known Scientologist- actors John Travolta and Eight is Enough's Joan Prather (who is credited with converting Travolta to the cult).A HTML version of the document has been discovered at the "Freezone" Scientology break-away movement here:The site excerpts a letter, purported to be from L. Ron Hubbard about the motivation behind the film:The RTS Film030582-01 1200 GMTThe RTS (Revolt in the Stars) film is designed to make several things occur on planet earth. Firstly, it will re-create the events surrounding a 4th Dynamic engram which affected this Sector circa 75 million years ago. However, it will present the data in a way which releases charge and brings up awareness and confront.No one has really confronted the original incident and survived - until the research I did in 1966-1967.Secondly, it will contain several symbols of the time, many still existing in PT on or off planet, which will create a familiarity and positioning of these symbols for our use - the good guys wear the white hats, bad guys the black hats, etc. - as per early Hollywood symbolism.A wide field of PR activities will at once open up and present itself for use based on the symbols in the film and the results of surveys afterwards. We should be prepared for this. Proper positioning tech would be used in any cover business, corporation, etc., to increase alignment with the mental and spiritual vectors thus developed.Thirdly, the film itself is to be viable, allowing a wide range of follow-up items and literature and a thrust from the public to be developed which can be channeled toward the orgs.Most importantly, since the events portrayed are true, there will be a degree of as-isness of the interlocking bank structure on the planet, thus making our job a bit easier.Any OT project being developed or in progress is to be made aware of these points in regard to RTS.L.Ron HubbardFounderWikileaks can not vouch for the letter, but it appears typical of other Hubbard material, and the Freezone group is "pro-Hubbard".Download
